What is the molarity of hydrochloric acid in a solution that contains a 3.65*g mass of HCl(g) in 500*mL aqueous solution?

"Molarity"-="Moles of solute"/"Volume of solution"

Explanation:

And here, "molarity"=((3.65*g)/(36.5*g*mol^-1))/(500*mLxx10^-3*L*mL^-1)=0.200*mol*L^-1.

Is the calculation consistent dimensionally?

And thus if it is 0.200*mol*L^-1 with respect to hydrogen chloride, it is 0.200*mol*L^-1 with respect to H_3O^+, AND Cl^-.

What is the pH of this solution?
